Ivy League college? fashion?

i'm in 8th grade and will soon be going up to 9th grade. I want to go in to a Ivy league and study becoming a fashion desinger, which college would suit it the most? also is FIT and UCLA a ivy league college?

Ivy League college? fashion?
UCLA is not an Ivy League school. I don't know of an Ivy League school that offers fashion design.





Ivy League schools are all on the east coast and are:





in New York state: Cornell, Columbia


in Massachusetts: Harvard


in Conneticut: Yale


in Rhode Island: Brown


in New Jersey: Princeton


in Pennsylvania: University of Pennsylvania





..and that's it!
Reply:Ohhh! I forgot to add that Dartmouth is also an Ivy League school. Poor Dartmouth. It's often forgotten that it is an Ivy League school. I think its reputation is excellent but it is often overshadowed by the larger schools such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale. Report It

Reply:There are actually eight Ivy Leagues.





Harvard University


Yale University


University of Pennsylvania


Princeton University


Columbia University


Brown University


Dartmouth College


Cornell University





And none of those schools offer fashion design as a program. Majoring in business, economics, or entrepreneurship would be good if you're looking to start your own fashion design company. And those schools offer them.





Fashion design seems like a waste for education at a college. You won't sell clothing based on what school you went to, you'll sell by the designing.
Reply:Actually, Cornell University does have an undergraduate proram in apparel design. However, I cannot speak for the other schools
Reply:FIT and UCLA are not, and I think what you're looking for is FIDM. It's not too early to find one near you and tour the campus. You'll get an idea of what exactly you'll be getting into, and if fashion design is really the path you're looking to travel. And, here's a link to the Princeton Review giving you an overview of what you should be doing to prepare for said vocation.
